GRACE LIN'E and overripe, but showing much fineness of perception and written in a flexible, well- ordered prose. FEBRUARY HILL, by Victoria Lincoln. Enter- taining story of a family of raffish Yankees living in a shanty outside Providence, Rhode Island. The father is a Harvard graduate and a chronic alcoholic, the mother a strong, clear - seeing, light - hearted woman who, driven partly by necessity and partly by nice clean Anglo - Saxon lust, spends cheerful weekends with commercial travellers. Gay and gusty, deepening occasionally into short interludes of seriousness. THE TAKING OF THE GRY, by John Masefield. Adventure story, told \vith Spartan sim- plicity: how two Englishmen smug led a munitions ship-by a tortuous. manIfestly impossible, secret channel-out of a harbor on the eastern Spanish Main during a small revolution in 1911. Sandbars, soundings, and, bless their hearts, the British merchant marine. You'll like it if you liked "The Bird of Dawning," though it's not quite as good. BRINKLEY MANOR, by P. G. Wodehouse. The standard article, and up to standard. Dex- terousplot and a lot of classic understate- ment. GE,NEJtAL DIAMOND JIM, by Parker Morell. Biography. easy and lively, of James Buchanan Brady, who seems to have used his flamboyant flair rather cannily and somewhat in the jolly spirit of the Robber Barons. Stories for the wistful gentlemen who remember Jack's and enjoy photographs of Lillian Russell. Bit of a prize package, too: the binding contains a genuine honest-to-goodness (glass) dia- mond. Illustrated. R L"SSIA'S IRON AGE, by Williatll Henry Cham- berlin. The Christian Science Monitor cor- respondent who wrote "Soviet Russia" does another book on the Soviet Union, this one much less favorable. Mr. Chamberlin says that the ruthless drive since 1929 to in- dustrialize the country and institute an al1- inclusive centralized economic plan has re- sulted in untold individual misery. He ad- mits that Russia has no bank failures and no unemployment problem, but emphasizes the human element in the application of state planning-the famine of 1932-33, the persecution of religion, the use of forced labor on industrial projects under bruta11y hard conditions. I11ustrated with pictures of neat-looking turbines and factories which are hardly in the spirit of the text. BALLETOMANIA, by Arnold L. Haskell. Gossip. anecdote, history, and reflection about the ba11et-with particular emphasis on Baron- ova, T oumanova, and the other younger ex- ponents-by a man who has gone beyond the aesthetic enjoyment of any given per- formance and tried to build a more com- plete framework for his appreciation. Your book, of course, if you liked "Nijinsky." Liberally illustrated. C. P. SCOTT, by J. L. Hanunond. Excellent biography. Detailed, well-documented study of the life of C. P. Scott, who made the Manchester Gu,ardia:'f1' world - famous. As 11luch a history of the paper and of England in the last fifty years as a picture of the stern, uncotllpromising, vigorous editor hinl- self. Includes correspondence \vith Di11on, Lord Rosebery. John Morley, Lord Bryce. Sir Edward Grey, Colonel House, and others. Careful, judicious, unobtrusive. THE VALLEYS OF THE ASSASSINS, by Freya Stark. Dignified and unassuming story of travels through Persia, written with apparent understanding of the Asiatic character and plenty of appreciation of Persian hills and ruins. With tnaps and pictures. THE SECRET WAR, by F. C. Hanighen. The man who co-authored the astounding "Mer- chants of Death" scoops up some more dirt. This exposé of the worldwide secret fight for oil is at once 1110re interesting and more im- portant than the munitions exposures.
